Nextgen Distribution • Founded in June 2011 • Appointed by Oracle as its new VAD • Taking Oracle’s Red Stack to the
Australian market • Business principles:
– Customer focused strategy, processes & people
– Employ experts to support the channel
Business Objectives
• Robust system
• Scalable
• Rapid implementation
• Customer-centric processes
• Low implementation, support & maintenance costs
Solution Overview
• CRM on Demand
• E-Business Suite Financials, Supply Chain & iStore
• Fusion Middleware
• DB Server: Oracle Database Appliance
• App Server: x86
• Oracle Enterprise Linux
Benefits • Rapid install reduced cost & project risk • No time wasted in getting database & SAN talking together
(1 - ??? Days) • Pre-configured RAC saves 2 weeks of DBA time • Lower maintenance costs (DBA, storage, sys admin) • Scalable & flexible licensing and configuration. (2-24 cores
on demand)
Configuration • 11 step configuration wizard • Simply choose RAC, RAC
One-Node or Single Server • Setup took 2.5 hours
compared to 5-10 days for SAN, OS, Database and RAC
Initial Configuration
• Download patch 12978712 from MyOracleSupport.
• Transfer to /tmp on 1st node
• Start Oracle Database Appliance Manager

E-Business Suite Database Creation • The following patches were applied to the Oracle
Database Home 4247037, 9776940, 10149223 & 10195109
• Pfile parameters added:- • *._disable_interface_checking=true • *._gc_undo_affinity=false • *._gc_policy_time=0
Final Steps • The migration was completed by following the steps of MOS Note: 741818.1 • Listener port 1601 for the communication between the Apps Tier and the
Database Tier • Run Custom Scripts • Run autoconfig on Oracle Home • DB Migration to ODA as per Export-import process for R12 using 11gR1 or 11gR2
[ID 741818.1] • Application migration to Prod. Server as per Cloning Oracle Applications Release 12
with Rapid Clone [ID 406982.1] • Test E- Business Suite Connectivity
Summary • ODA installed
• DB configured
• E-Business Suite re-instated
• System Ready
• Simple to deploy – Pre-configured with validated
components – Best practices implemented – Reduced risk in deploying HA
• Simple to manage – Automatically detects problems &
takes corrective actions – Patch all components with single
command – End-to-end management – hardware
to software
• Simple to troubleshoot – ASR configuration – Validates system configuration – Gathers relevant logs for support
Readiness Assessment
• Dataweave has developed a Readiness Assessment process to develop your roadmap to ODA and assist with your Business Case
Port Waratah Coal Services • Port Waratah Coal Services Limited (‘PWCS’), located in the Port of Newcastle,
NSW, Australia, operates one of the world’s largest coal handling operations. Carrington Coal Terminal has a shiploading capacity of 25 million tonnes per annum (‘Mtpa’) and Kooragang Coal Terminal 108 Mtpa. These terminals receive, assemble and load Hunter Valley coal for export.
• PWCS is a continuous, 24 hour a day operation and any system downtime has a dramatic and costly impact.
• PWCS recently purchased three Oracle Database Appliances (ODA) to provide three environments, (PROD, DEV/TEST and DR). The main reasons behind the purchase were: Database High Availability, Performance Improvements, and the Low Maintenance features of the Oracle Engineered System. The ODA units will underpin the core operational systems Kooragang Operations Planning (“KOP”) and Carrington Operations Planning (“COP”). These applications were specifically developed for the scheduling and operations planning at the two sites. Additionally, they are supply chain applications to enhance the coal product being exported.
DP World • DP World operates more than 60 container terminals across
the world, with container handling generating around 80% of its revenue. In addition, the company currently has 11 new developments and major expansions underway in 10 countries. 30,000 staff.
• DP World recently made an initial purchase two ODA units (Planning to purchase another two before the end of the year) to run the operation critical databases of their Terminal Operations Systems (Container Management System - CMS). The driving reasons being the need for Database High Availabilty, performance, the segregation of systems between terminals and the low maintenance nature of the Oracle Engineered System.
